Figure 4

Histological examination of the leiomyoma. The retroperitoneal mass showed a whorled (fascicular) pattern of smooth muscle bundles separated by well vascularized connective tissue; smooth muscle cells were elongated with eosinophilic or occasional fibrillar cytoplasm and distinct cell membranes. (A) The growth was not infiltrative and contained thick walled arteries throughout and cleft-like spaces. (B) Areas of hyaline degeneration were also seen.
